In a small patio you cannot always have everything you want. It is necessary to choose and to do so it is essential be clear about our priorities. Do you prefer to have a green area? A low maintenance space to gather the family? Is your dream to have a swimming pool? We have ideas whatever your case.
Modern, low maintenance
Is your priority to have a space in which to relax that is also easy to maintain? A space where you can go out for a coffee or chat with your partner in the evening? If so, place a ceramic flooring and dress it with little furniture, but chosen, and large flowerpots.
Ceramic floors are a great alternative to cover the floors of this type of patios. They are resistant and require little maintenance once installed. Porcelain Stoneware is one of the ones that offers the greatest advantages; it is very resistant and durable against wear, temperature changes and and the passage of time. Aesthetically, it is also capable of imitating the texture of other materials such as stone, marble or wood.
Once the soil is chosen, place some modern style furniture designed to be outdoors. Those made of synthetic fibers and / or steel will be the most suitable if you live in a rainy and windy area. Create a nice set by combining chairs, benches and coffee tables. To finish, use colorful cushions and plants to add character to the patio.
Warm with rustic touches
Do you prefer a warmer patio, with rustic touches? Natural stone It continues to be among the most demanded proposals for paving exterior surfaces due to its rustic character. Choose slotted tiles, sandblasted etc. to avoid the risk of slipping and play with smaller or larger pieces to personalize the space.
Timber It is a material with a lot of presence also in this type of space. Wooden floors are warm and pleasing to the eye, but require more maintenance. If your priority is to create a low-maintenance space, bet on materials that imitate wood, you will win! and reserve this material for furniture.
Finish decorating the small patio with accessories made of natural fibers (or materials that imitate them), cushions in warm tones and plants located in pots of different sizes, materials and colors to give it a more country, more informal air.
The bank as an ally
When the patio is small, we cannot create different areas or place too much furniture. It is in these cases when a wall bench becomes a great ally. Taking advantage of a corner of the patio, and with a minimal investment, we can achieve seats for a good number of people.
Combined with a high dining table, will make our patio the best space to gather friends and family. You will only have to dress the bench with cushions to make it more comfortable and to also be able to sit on them, we think of everything! In addition, and in order that the sun or rain prevent you from enjoying it as you should, consider placing a sail awning.
Make your patio a pool
Does having a small patio force you to give up a pool? Maybe yes, maybe not. The possibility of placing a more or less large pool will depend on other technical factors, in addition, the size of the patio. And of course, the budget you have to decorate the patio.
Having a pool in a small courtyard is not impossible. However, you must bear in mind that it will occupy the entire patio forcing you to give up other comforts. The ideal if the space is adequate is install an elongated pool which, in addition to helping to create greater depth in the patio, allows you to place a small relaxation area on the side with a bench or a couple of sun loungers.
To finish decorating a small patio with a pool, you will only have to add some plants. In Decoora we love the idea of placing them in large terracotta pots, so that cleaning the space is easier. Ideally, choose plants that adapt to the climate of your area, do not shed many leaves and do not require much maintenance.
